As per Portugal player Jose Fonte, Ronaldo's nutrition has had an impact on the teammates around him.
Ronaldo's excellent fitness and body upkeep have enabled him to keep performing at such a top level.
The 36-year-old Portuguese legend is well renowned for his healthy eating habits, as well as his summer snub of Euro 2020 advertisers Coca-Cola.
When questioned if Ronaldo's food choices influence others around him, the Lille defender said to talkSPORT, "100%." We always keep an eye on what he eats and what he does.
You know he's the greatest, and you want to do what he's doing because he's obviously doing something well.
"Well, he eats nice and clean on a regular basis, you know, wonderful quinoas and all that healthy things... He takes up broccoli, sweet potatoes and a lot of eggs as viral in the social media."
However, Fonte added that Ronaldo isn't afraid to break his own standards and indulge in a cheat meal after games.
And it appears that Cristiano, who quit Juventus in the summer to rejoin Utd Manchester, does not really pass up the chance to have chips and steak.
"I've watched him taking a little bit of almost everything," Fonte replied when questioned if Cristiano would eat steak and chips.
Ronaldo has been in superb form during his second tenure at United, awarded Premier League Player of the Month for September.

Lee Grant has stated that Ronaldo has had a tremendous impact on the club since his sensational return to Old Trafford, noting that the "mood is wonderful" around the club.
The 38-year-old goalkeeper also reiterated Fonte's claims, adding that after seeing what CR-7 ate at a pre-match meal, neither one of his Manchester players "dared" to eat an unhealthy snack.
